Turbo Into my 280?

[Guest Anonymous]

I have a chance to buy a complete turbo and intake setup that will bolt on to my 280. it includes: .280ZXT TURBO W/MANIFOLD, AIR FLOW METER, TURBO OIL LINE, 300ZX INJECTORS, AIR TUBES FOR TURBO TO THROTTLE BODY AND TURBO TO AIR FLOW METER.... What is involved with this? Seller says it is pretty easy, but I dont really know... What kinda hp gains should I expect from this?

Does it also include ECU/AFM etc? Who knows how this is setup... you might be in for a nightmare or it might work great, it depends how the last guy did it. See if he'll offer to install it for you too, or help you install it.

 

HP gains.. well they should be pretty decent. If its a 280Z you have your compression ratio will be around 8.8:1 which is a bit high, but still do-able. You'd likely want to run no more than about 5-6psi without an intercooler at that compression, but even 5-6psi can give you a real kick. As for how much hp gain? Its terribly difficult to speculate, and any numbers you are given will be just that, speculation. I'd speculate you could push your 149hp stock up to around 180hp with the turbo. That number also depends largely on tuning, etc.
